Beguiled to wait

Another night
Another dream
Each one drifting
On a moonlit beam

Some were loving
Some were kind
Some were fashioned
To entice his mind

The days were short
The nights stretched long
Their appetites swelled
Unsatisfyingly strong

Daydreams came
And daydreams went
None could capture
Her intoxicating scent

Wondrous words
Wound their way
Over mountains and oceans
Resolved to stay

Years slipped by
As time stood still
Each day brimming
With vigor and thrill

Still, answers lingered
At the bottom of the sea
Forever just beyond
The lovers’ pleas

Exhausted, they yielded
To the pull of fate
Lost on a zephyr
Beguiled to wait

Along the avenue of lost souls
We danced deliriously
Entwined in each other
Oblivious to everything else

You’re the echo inside me,
the harmonious voice
inside my head.

Your words reverberate,
mimicking my mind,
every thought spilled,
phantasmic and fluidly formed.

Mutually manifested magic
is all we’ve ever really known.

Why need we even speak
the thoughts that dwell within
while we cheat mediocrity
bathing in buckets of bliss.

Maybe it’s the glory gained
by hearing ourselves think
beyond the breadth of others
in a oneness all our own.

With every sunrise
I love you more
Your smiling eyes
Everything I adore
Thru time and space
We’ve kept our love
Explosive cosmic energy
Everything we’re made of
Sparks of passion
Igniting every day
This volcanic connection
Can’t stay away
Everything you are
Is everything I am
I can’t stop feeling
So I send a telegram
Heart wrapped up
A gift for you
Everything I do
I do for you
